Don; I'm glad that you asked that question. I was beginning to think that the heated discussions on slabbing of chips issue had been put to bed and forgotten about.

How much do you suppose Sahara Coins would have asked for the same chip on ebay, UNSLABBED? Why is it do you suppose that Sahara Coins has resorted to slabbing his stock of chips to begin with? Obviously, his background in SLABBED COINS has convinced him that he can get higher prices for SLABBED CHIPS ... and maybe he CAN get his asking prices from the chip investor/speculator who is not familiar with the numbers-game slabbing problem that is about to make it's debut in chipping.

Don ... anyone is free to purchase any chip in any condition, in any holder, from any dealer they want to. I also am free to express my opinion on why I think they should not.
